STaSIS Engineering has been selected to present at the Mid Atlantic Venture Association (MAVA) investment conference Capital Connection (http://www.capitalconnection.org), the Nation’s Technology Innovation and Investment Conference held at the Baltimore Hilton on May 19 to 20. STaSIS Engineering is one of 40 presenting companies competitively selected out of a pool of more than 150 previously filtered applicants. Several hundred venture capital and private equity investors will attend.

Following its success over the past year—in a recessionary environment—STaSIS Engineering is seeking a $2.65 million Series C investment round to continue its expansion. These funds will enable STaSIS Engineering to take advantage of the rapidly recovering automobile market to further extend its leading position as the premier aftermarket supplier to Audi franchise dealers.

“This conference is an excellent opportunity to seek capital to fuel our continued growth in the automotive performance enhancement space,” said STaSIS Engineering president and CEO Paul Lambert. “The fact that STaSIS Engineering is able to approach capital markets to raise expansion capital reflects the maturation of the automotive performance market and the soundness of our business model. This funding will enable us to add products and services to this already successful channel to capture the rapidly expanding market.” MAVA Executive Director, Julia Spicer commented on STaSIS Engineering’s selection, “We strive to have a diverse, dynamic and exciting group of companies that address a multitude of market needs to present to our investor firms and STaSIS Engineering fits that mold.”

Tickets for Capital Connection can be purchased at http://capitalconnection.org. The STaSIS Engineering presentation will be at Capital Connection on May 19 or 20 and more information will be available at the STaSIS Engineering booth #33.
